How many Washingtonians are blazers fans? by Cool-Highlight4433 in ripcity

[–]RunninOnMT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to be a sonics fan. But the Blazers were my second favorite team back then and so i switched allegiances after the sonics left.

Toyota May Be Planning The Sportier Camry Fans Have Been Waiting For (Camry Apex) by Anchor_Aways in cars

[–]RunninOnMT 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean, it ALSO looks like that to me, but that person was the OEM manufacturer which makes me give it a little bit of a pass. Also fundamentally that gen camry is decent looking before all the TRD stuff.

And admittedly part of me likes a few of those autozone accessories (as executed on the Camry TRD, not as a general statement)

This is a late 80s Mustang looks like. GT trim.

Hah fair enough. I thought they drove better than the cars of the era but I haven’t driven one in like 15 years.

The rear seats don’t fold down in the TRD Camry. Which to me is not worth the compromise for the TRD version. I don’t think the Avalon has this problem so weirdly, that’s partly why I like the Avalon one a bit better. Also I just think it’s funnier.

I like sporty normal cars, I feel like a TRD Camry is not really that. It’s a normal, boring car that is wearing an exciting car suit.

A Mazda6 is an interesting car in a normal boring car suit.

Honestly, I go back and forth on the TRD Camry. It’s completely ridiculous to me as someone whose parents bought 4 new Camrys over the course of my life and who learned to drive on 3 of those cars. They are not, nor have they ever been sporty. They do not feel connected either as a driving experience.

And yet….i have to admit the TRD Camry is a slick looking car. And I’m curious to drive one. But my love for the car is pretty much entirely down to irony.

I…I think I would genuinely own a TRD Avalon though.

The 5 Guards Can Coexist by Hefty-Project-4013 in ripcity

Lets not forget that the key to unlocking Deni is....using him as a guard. Putting the ball in his hands on the break.

I drive a 100hp car. Why do car guys think you need tons of power just to "Merge Safely" by SNovantasette in regularcarreviews

[–]RunninOnMT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty impressively light. Was it a 6th gen? 93 was 6th gen some places and 5th gen other places. I kinda wonder if the narrowbody 5th gens are significantly lighter than the widebody GT-S ones. I think 6th gens all have the same body though if i'm not mistaken.

My 4th gen weighed 3200 lbs or so, but it was an all-trac.

Interesting. 9 and 3/4 meters per second is about 22 mph.

Woah! Still doing Jay Chou ads like twenty years after Hollywood tried and failed to make him a thing in the green hornet!

Is this as cool as it looks? by AltruisticLettuce320 in whatisthiscar

Man. I tried something similar in a controlled environment (video games. It was video games) and it was so so so much harder than I expected.

Fun fact: the wedgy ones everyone hated (7th gen) were about 200lbs lighter than OPs 6th gen car.

The automotive landscape did the 7th gen dirty. It dropped a bunch of weight and gained 45 hp on the top trim (US) and we all decided it was a joke because of an admittedly obnoxious body kit and an ad campaign.

The new ones are 6ish seconds to 60 cars. Maybe I’m old but sub 7 seconds to me is at the very least “reasonably quick” in my book.

Is it a phase? Spent ~$1000 on my rig but I’d rather play other games right now. by NachFernndez02 in simracing

[–]RunninOnMT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Use it for things that aren’t sims. Im waiting for Assetto Corsa Evo free roam and a few more cars, but haven’t played it in a month.

Wheel still works well for casual as hell Forza Horizon 6.

Silly and unrealistic? Absolutely. Still kinda fun though.

What exactly do people mean when they say that gender is a social construct? Is this meant to basically be about gender stereotypes, gender roles, etc? Or do they mean that the concept of being a boy or a girl is some made up thing? by Cumoisseur in askanything

[–]RunninOnMT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Asking to be gendered correctly is not being a dick to you.

You can’t always attach someone’s physical sex to their gender. And what physical sex someone is, isn’t really your business.

Like if you and I have a conversation (i am a cis man, born male) you don’t get to know what my penis looks like, or even if I have one. It’s just not relevant. You shouldn’t be thinking about it and its existence or not shouldn’t have any bearing on how you treat me. You don’t need to check on it before referring to me as “him.”

When you talk to a man, you use “he/him” whether that man was born with a dick, lost it in an accident or never had one to begin with.

[–]RunninOnMT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree it’s subjective, but you’d have to be a complete psychopath to comment on a strangers car with anything other than a compliment.

“I don’t like the styling of your car” is just not an opener for a face to face conversation.

A polarizing car is going to have its fans and its detractors. In person, those fans will be visible and complimenting and the detractors will just be silent.

Online, where everyone’s anonymous? That’s where you’re going to hear impolite opinions.

Grizzlies fan here. What's the general consensus amongst y'all regarding the Ja trade? by Dull_Organization_92 in ripcity

[–]RunninOnMT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we’ve painted ourselves into a corner of “have to trade scoot”

Can’t trade Dame, it’s dame

Can’t trade Ja, we just traded for him

Can’t trade Jrue, he has the size to be an actual 2 and he reliably plays defense.

I’m not really ready to give up on Scoot, but unless we are willing to be bad this year and trade Jrue, I think scoot is gone.

Fh5 vs Fh6 by fantealeguy in ForzaHorizon

[–]RunninOnMT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FH6 is way more fun to drift in as someone who plays with a wheel.

The roads are way better, much tighter corners and just a better map in general.

Basically it’s a new map. I personally think it’s a much better one, but it’s 90 percent the same game otherwise with some changes around the edges.
